Foobooz founder Arthur Etchells announced yesterday that Philadelphia magazine’s parent company Metrocorp bought his blog Foobooz.com. Going forward, Foobooz will be Phillymag.com’s food and drink outlet, and Metrocorp, which also publishes Boston magazine expects to roll out a Beantown edition in the new year. According to the Insider, a national version will follow. Etchells will serve as digital product manager and continue to contribute to the site. No stranger to Foobooz — she wrote and edited the blog prior to steering Grub Street for a year — Phillymag food editor Kirsten Henri will assume the role of editor. [Foobooz]
